It’s been a while since my family went apple picking…and I was starting to sweat a little thinking I might not get my apples cooked up into gooey filling so my family can be treated with pies throughout the year untill it’s time to go picking again!  But yesterday we had the afternoon to be home together and get the job done!   And after all the peeling, cutting, and cooking…we ended up with 11 fillings for freezing!  Of course after all the effort it was necessary to bake a pie to indulge on…and also have some fun experimenting with a yummy alternative I might consider serving over the holidays!  Have a peek at our kitchen festivity…and the mouthwatering outcome!

it’s pie time!

Grandma’s Apple Pie

Autumn often prompts us to spend some time in the kitchen…cooking up warm, yummy comfort foods and baking goodies for all the holidays ahead!  Today we would like to share a family favorite recipe for apple pie filling…a delightful treat that has been appreciated for generations!  After we take a trip to the apple orchard to load up on recipe requirements we spend an afternoon peeling and cooking up this gooey goodness, packaging it up in containers, and filling the freezer with more than a dozen packages of pie filling…a little time consuming, but totally worth the effort!  Throughout the year I have the ability to literally whip up a pie in no time by simply defrosting a container, plopping it into a crust, and baking!  Whether you want to stock up or just bake one…this recipe is as easy as it is tasty!  Perfect for the holidays-or any day for that matter!  Bake a pie…

just like Grandma’s!
